Implementing Programming Languages

Many choices in how to implement programming models

We’ve talked about compilation, can also interpret

Interpreting languages has a long history Lisp, an early programming language, was interpreted

Interpreters are still in common use: Python, Javascript, Ruby, Matlab, PHP, Perl, …

3

Your source code

Binary executable

Interpreter implementation

Interpreter binary

Your source code


An Interpreter is a Program

Execute the source code directly (or something close)

Simpler/no compiler – less translation

More transparent to debug – less translation

Easier to run on different architectures – runs in a simulated environment that exists only inside the interpreter process Just port the interpreter

Slower and harder to optimize

4

Interpreter implementation

Interpreter binary

Your source code


Interpreter vs. Compiler

An aspect of a language implementation A language can have multiple implementations

Some might be compilers and other interpreters

“Compiled languages” vs. “Interpreted languages” a misuse of terminology But very common to hear this

And has some validation in the real world (e.g. JavaScript vs. C)

Also, as about to see, modern language implementations are often a mix of the two Compiling to a bytecode language, then interpreting

Doing just-in-time compilation of parts to assembly for performance

5


“The JVM”

Java programs are usually run by a Java virtual machine (JVM)

JVMs interpret an intermediate language called Java bytecode

Many JVMs compile bytecode to native machine code • Just-in-time (JIT) compilation

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation

Java is sometimes compiled ahead of time (AOT) like C

6

Note: The JVM is different than the CSE VM running on VMWare. Yet another use of the word “virtual”!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation


Compiling and Running Java

The Java compiler converts Java into Java bytecodes Stored in a .class file

Save your Java code in a .java file

To run the Java compiler: javac Foo.java

To execute the program stored in the bytecodes, Java bytecodes can be interpreted by a program (an interpreter) For Java, the JVM is the interpreter

java Foo runs the Java virtual machine• Loads the contents of Foo.class and interprets the bytecodes

Java Bytecode

Like assembly code for JVM,but works on all JVMs Hardware-independent!

Typed (unlike x86 assembly)

Strong JVM protections

0 1 2 3 4 n

variable table

operand stack

constantpool

Holds pointer this

Other arguments to method

Other local variables


JVM Operand Stack

10

iload 1 // push 1st argument from table onto stack

iload 2 // push 2nd argument from table onto stack

iadd // pop top 2 elements from stack, add together, and

// push result back onto stack

istore 3 // pop result and put it into third slot in table

mov 8(%ebp), %eax

mov 12(%ebp), %edx

add %edx, %eax

mov %eax, -8(%ebp)

JVM:

Other arguments to methodOther local variables

‘i’ = integer,‘a’ = reference,‘b’ for byte,‘c’ for char,‘d’ for double, ...

No registers or stack locations!All operations use operand stack


A Simple Java Method

11

Method java.lang.String getEmployeeName()

0 aload 0 // "this" object is stored at 0 in the var table

1 getfield #5 <Field java.lang.String name>

// getfield instruction has a 3-byte encoding

// Pop an element from top of stack, retrieve its

// specified instance field and push it onto stack

// "name" field is the fifth field of the object

4 areturn // Returns object at top of stack

Class File Format

Every class in Java source code is compiled to its own class file

10 sections in the Java class file structure: Magic number: 0xCAFEBABE (legible hex from James Gosling – Java’s inventor)

Version of class file format: The minor and major versions of the class file

Constant pool: Set of constant values for the class

Access flags: For example whether the class is abstract, static, final, etc.

This class: The name of the current class

Super class: The name of the super class

Interfaces: Any interfaces in the class

Fields: Any fields in the class

Methods: Any methods in the class

Attributes: Any attributes of the class (for example, name of source file, etc.)

A .jar file collects together all of the class files needed for the program, plus any additional resources (e.g. images)

Other languages for JVMs

JVMs run on so many computers that compilers have been built to translate many other languages to Java bytecode: AspectJ, an aspect-oriented extension of Java

ColdFusion, a scripting language compiled to Java

Clojure, a functional Lisp dialect

Groovy, a scripting language

JavaFX Script, a scripting language for web apps

JRuby, an implementation of Ruby

Jython, an implementation of Python

Rhino, an implementation of JavaScript

Scala, an object-oriented and functional programming language

And many others, even including C!

Microsoft’s C# and .NET Framework

C# has similar motivations as Java Virtual machine is called the

Common Language Runtime

Common Intermediate Language is the bytecode for C# and other languages in the .NET framework

c->gals = 17;

float mpg = get_mpg(c);
